Where's Gonzo when you need him?
Standard separation and it was a trial for the night jet ban slots. Eg. Land before 0602LT.

On our fleet and in our airline the aim is a CDA.
For our fleet this works well with Gear Down at 2000ft. 160kts-4Miles. stable around 1100ft.

VA is particularly bad at dragging their way in over London with gear down. Noisey in Barnes!!
